A good website looks nice. A great website pays for itself.
Looking good is the easy part. The hard part is building a site that brings in work, and that's the part I'm here for. The design, the words, the photos and the search setup are all there for one reason: to turn someone searching for what you do into someone who picks up the phone and calls you.
I'm Kory. I've pursued many passions, including biomedical research, software sales, and software engineering. I love to learn and I love to build.
Research taught me to keep pulling at something until I understand why it works the way it does. Sales showed me how owners think about spending money on their business. Engineering taught me to build things that are beautiful to use and still working a year later.
I take things apart to see why they work, and I get more out of making something good than out of being finished with it.
I care. About people, about the work, about whatever it is that I'm focusing on. So when I sit down with you I want the real story of how you built this and what it took. That's my favourite part of the job. And once I know it, the work I do has to match how hard you worked to build this. You get everything I have.
That goes past the website too. If I see a way to bring you more business, or to make a part of how you run it faster or cheaper, I'll tell you, whether or not it has anything to do with the site.
You'll see all of this in how the project runs. I guarantee you'll be impressed.
You get a great website. You also get everything I learn along the way.
To build a site that sells, I have to understand how your business works, so I ask a lot of questions. Somewhere in all that asking I start spotting things: what you're best at that never made it onto the website, which enquiries take the longest to turn into work, which parts of your week could be faster or cheaper. I tell you what I find as I go. Some of it changes the website. Some of it has nothing to do with the website and is just worth knowing. The website is what you're paying me for. Everything else is a bonus. My goal is that you end up with a website that brings you business, and that you understand your own business better than when we started.
Learn it first
What you sell, who buys it, and why they pick you over the shop down the road. I keep asking until I can answer all three, because that answer is what the homepage has to say out loud.
Sweat the small stuff
How fast it loads on a phone with two bars. Whether tapping your number dials it. Whether your hours are right in all six places they appear. None of it gets noticed, and all of it decides whether a stranger trusts you.
Solve it properly
Something I can only patch is something I don't understand yet. I'll spend the extra day finding the actual cause, because the patch comes back and the fix doesn't.
Save you time and money
Making things faster and cheaper to run is a lot of what engineering is, and I point it at your business too. If you're doing something twice, I look for a way to do it once: booking, quotes, follow-ups, the same five questions you answer every day.
Tell you everything I find
You hear it as I find it, not in a report at the end. If something is costing you work, or there's an easy win you haven't taken, I'd rather tell you in week one than let you pay for it all year.
Go further than I said I would
I've done things this way my whole life. What we agreed on is the floor. I keep working on something after it's already good because I want to hand you the best version of it, not the one that met the brief.
One job, first sketch to launch day.
Design, copy, code, hosting, and search all belong to the same build, so the decisions get made together and nothing sits waiting on a brief being relayed. You text and you get an answer.
Design
Every layout, every page, drawn around what your customers need to do when they land.
Copy
The words come written. Headlines, service descriptions, every page, so the site arrives finished.
Code
Hand-built and hosted properly, with no plugin stack underneath to keep patched.
Launch
Domain, hosting, and the move off your old site. It goes live without you having to chase anyone.
Search setup
Google Business Profile, Maps, and the SEO fundamentals, done at launch.
After launch
Same phone number afterwards. Changes get made by the person who built the thing.
Websites for business, and software when it's needed.
Brochure sites, online stores, booking, and everything in between, for businesses across the GTA and North America. Web design and website development are the same job here, and the custom software side runs the same way, for anyone who needs more than a website.
- ✓ Websites for businesses of any size, on site across the GTA and remotely anywhere
- ✓ Rebuilds of sites that aren't bringing in work any more
- ✓ Online booking, ordering, and payments
- ✓ Google Business Profile and local search setup
- ✓ Photography and video, shot on site when a project calls for it
- ✓ Web and mobile apps, designed and coded end to end
Wherever your business is.
The build runs the same whether you're down the road or across the country. I'm in Toronto, so if you want me on site, to walk the work or photograph the space, these are all an easy drive, and I'll travel further when the job calls for it.
A shop, a clinic, a restaurant, a software company.
